Chapter 7: The Masked Man

It's so powerful that I can't fight for it.

Gradually, I began to suffocate, my eyes turned white, and my consciousness began to blur...... But even so, I could feel the unusually cold hand around my neck.

It wasn't like the temperature of a living person at all.

Am I going to die like this in my own home?

No, no...... I struggled desperately with the last of my strength, and just as I was about to lose consciousness, I suddenly heard a flute sound in the distance! Isn't this the voice that fought with the female ghost last night!

"Noise."

There was a voice behind me, it must have been the one who wanted to kill me! The voice was low and hoarse, like a fingernail scratching a piece of metal, extremely harsh, as if it were a demon crawling out of hell. He sneered a few times, as if he had taken out two planks and struck them.

The sound of the flute and the percussion both gradually accelerated, and the sound of the flute seemed to gradually fade......

However, thanks to the sound of the flute, the man seemed to have to let go of the hand that was holding me.

I sat down on the ground and gulped in the fresh air, and it was the rest of my life!

But the weird thing is that the sound of the flute is constant, the sound of percussion is non-stop, but I can't see a person around me! Could it be that the thing that looks like me only exists in the mirror?

I scrambled to get up and stand in front of the water tank, and sure enough, I saw an afterimage behind me tapping on the plank.

And that face, although it is vague and indistinct, can be seen that it is indeed me.

"Looks like you're not that stupid."

The other "I" seemed to notice that I was secretly watching him, and looked back at me with a weird smile. I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a long scar on "my" face, could it be that I was stitched with human skin?

His smile frightened me, and I involuntarily took a few steps back, stumbled under my feet, and fell directly into the hall. An even more bizarre scene appeared, and the moment I entered, I was immediately enveloped in a thick black room. The furniture in the hall and even the door were gone, and it was pitch black everywhere.

I stood up tremblingly and tried to touch it, but I couldn't touch anything after walking a long way.

What's going on?

Where am I?

The sound of flutes and percussions continued, but the sound seemed far away.

Could it be that I just fell like that and I entered another dimension?

Just when I was at a loss, a point of light suddenly appeared in the distance! It wasn't a big spot, it looked like an old-fashioned kerosene lamp or candle.

This little glimmer of light reassured my heart, as if instinctively, I cautiously moved in the direction of the point of light.

However, it seemed that the point of light was forever out of reach, and I could not walk there...... Just when I was restless, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder!

"Ahh

Before I could say a word, a cold hand quickly covered my mouth.

"Die, don't make a sound."

Gan Yuan!

"How are you ......?"

"Close your eyes."

Gan Yuan let go of his hand, took out the tube he had with him, and tapped it lightly on my forehead.

"Look, where are you going?"

The moment the wooden tube touched my forehead, I felt a chill in my heart, and when I opened my eyes again, I gasped.

I'm standing next to a deep well, and I'm about to step into it! In the water of the well, there was a point of light in the middle of it. But it wasn't the warm yellow of a kerosene lamp or a candle, it was a flickering emerald green.

I swallowed my saliva in fear, if it weren't for Gan Yuan, then I would have become a soul in this deep well today.

Wait a minute...... This place......

Isn't this my family's vegetable cellar? I froze and looked around. That's right, this is my family's cellar, which my grandfather and I dug by hand.

It's just that I've never come down to this cellar. Because the cellar was dug so much, I asked my grandfather at that time what he was doing digging an air-raid shelter when he was not fighting, and my grandfather beat him up. The reason why I can recognize it now is because I saw the word "Chen" carved on the wall with my own hands!

"Recognize it?"

Gan Yuan put away his pipe and looked at me with a stupid expression.

"What the hell is going on?"

"This is the underground of your house, another space that your grandfather built to be exact. If you are not a blood relative, you will not be able to enter this formation. ”

"Formation ???"

I was stunned, and looked at Gan Yuan with a confused expression: "My grandfather, is that old man who farms?" What formations will be played? ”

"It seems that you are such a stupid roe deer, you don't know how to count the money back to others."

Am I not an innocent passerby?

"Alright, buddy, I'll tell you ......"

Just as Gan Yuan was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps not far away!

"Someone is coming," Gan Yuan grabbed me and hid behind the vat in the vegetable cellar, "The fog just now was that we touched the formation, even if it is your blood relative, you can only come in and not make the fog dissipate." It seems that the one who broke the formation should be the person who came now. ”

I was shocked, how terrible is that?

We hid behind the tank with bated breath. No matter how powerful the people are, they can only take one step at a time.

Not long after we hid, a small man dressed in black walked out. He was dressed in a black robe-like garment, with an extremely eerie grimace mask on his face. I always felt like I'd seen this mask somewhere, it looked like something from a play. Although he was dressed in black, I could still see the mottled and frightening blood stains on his body, probably left by the break.

"Come out."

The man's hoarse voice rang out.

Strangely, this person's voice was not the "me" just now, it was a voice I had never heard before.

"Hand over your things and spare your lives."

Gan Yuan and I looked at each other, and it seemed that neither of us knew anything "something".

"Hmph," the grimace man smiled coldly, "Is the Wu family's bloodline so cowardly?" It's not like a big feng shui family. If the Zhuang family sees it, do you want to laugh off your big teeth? ”

What is a "farmer"?

When the accident happened, Gan Yuan seemed to be unusually excited, and he rushed out all of a sudden.

"Hmph, then dare to ask Your Excellency who is the hero on that road and the hero on that mountain?"

This guy really can't hold his breath, but it's all at this point, and it's not appropriate for me not to go out. So I had to slowly walk out of the hiding place.

"Hahaha," the grimace let out a sharp laugh, "Where is the secret technique of the Wu family in the Ghost Gate Village!" ”
